What needs to be done to make the new God of War truly great?

souls combat

>>380713394
a combat system more complex than dmc4

Nothing. The whole series sucks, and the latest game looks like the gayest shit I've ever seen in my life. A fucking father-son story in a GoW game, what the fuck? And they somehow managed to make a character look less badass by giving him a huge beard -- a difficult feat, but they did it. Please just let this turd die.

sex minigame with the kid

>>380713394
Turns out the "kid" was Loki all along fucking with Kratos' brain to make him do his bidding and kill the other Norse Gods to claim the throne of Asgard for himself. The final boss fight is Kratos killing the Kid.

>>380713394
They're taking it in such a shit direction. All the GoWs up til 3 were fine because they were throwaway entertainment and knew it. They started getting too serious by 3, and this new one is taking it even further. Nobody gives a shit about some kid, they just want to laugh at a greek caricature ripping the guts out of some creature.

>What needs to be done to make the new God of War truly great?
Actually try to make it fun ffs

>>380713394
Change the camera angle back to the old one, IMMEDIATELY

Remove the apparent focus on storytelling and simply make the story an excuse to fight cool shit from Norse mythology.

ODIN, WHERE IS MY WIFE'S SON?!

But seriously, what is so bad about this game? All I have really seen is meme about it, never really looked into it because I have never cared much for the series.

>>380716175
This guy gets it

>>380713394
take the camera to the position it had in past games
I can survive the new combat, but that camera is an instant "I'll just look how it ends on jewtube" for me, not buying dad of war
>>380715442
seriously talking is probably too problematic for the current view on vidya
but thats not my problem so fuck it
>2 sisters
>scene of one dominating the kid
>kratos shows up and teachs him how its done with the other sister
>back to the kid, scene pass from femdom to maledom
there, someone fund it, and remember to make them thicc muscular valkyries

>>380713394
The series should've ended at three.

>>380713394
Full on edge at a important moment in the game

why can't they try and give kratos more character and keep the same gameplay.
i never saw fans of the series saying that the gameplay was getting boring

Don't forget Ascension

>>380721195

Because button-mashing is gay. Seriously GoW has probably the worst combat system. Like dumbed down Bayonetta.

>>380721195
Honestly after ascension i'm glad the BoC are gone. They just felt like shit, and the gamebreaking bugs and camera zoomed so far out you can't see what the fuck is even going on makes me think they can't even do that anymore.

>>380721137
Has the series ever had that?

>>380721016
>Mixing up the gameplay
I think you mean shitting up the gameplay. My favorite thing about God of War compared to DMC, Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta was the static camera. Especially since camera controls are shit in those games. Giving it that over the shoulder camera is fucking gay.

>>380721195
Because they already made that game like 6 times

The developers wanted to try something new, and fans just want the same regurgitated shit over and over (read: COD)

How about just treating it like a standalone game with a familiar character (like Mario) rather than comparing it to previous titles.

People just want to complain. Nobody is ever satisfied because the developer didn't make the exact game they wanted. How about just fucking enjoying something for what it's worth.

>>380721373
so u did not like them?
alot of people did tho and the game should be made for the fans.
>>380721416
i would rather they learn from their mistakes than make it look nothing like a god of war game

i get you but i want my god of war game to play like a god of war game.

>>380719438
This, just make a new game/franchise, no need to drag Kratos into it and milk the series' name

>>380719438
You say that but 3 was already promoting the next unannounced game

>>380721469
yes?
good gameplay and deep gameplay aren't mutually exclusive

>they changed his voice actor
fucking why
>inb4 muh serious kratos
he was a lot more chill in the very first game and his original VA did just fine there
did they think no one would notice or what

>>380721789
>press square to gore
>good gameplay
/v/'s standards have fallen so low throughout the years

>>380721872
I bet they'll quote the facial capture just like Kojima but in the end we know this whole industry just wants to suck movie stars off.

>>380721872
I'm going to miss Mace Windu Kratos.

>>380722000
we wuz kratos

>>380722037
Anon that meme doesn't really work since Kratos was always black.

>>380721373
and yet we get gayer combat in this game

>>380713394
The old games were good, but it looks like they're abandoning character action to give a more "Soulslike" experience, which is probably smart because they can't compete with the old DMC games (same thing Tameem is doing with Hellblade). Could be shit, but the old GoWs were fun, and their previous games were perfectly serviceable.

>>380721950
>playing on easy
>WTF THIS ISN'T CHALLENGING AT ALL

>>380721950
GoW on higher difficulties were comparably difficult to DMD.

>>380722565
You're right, you add a triangle on the other difficulties

>>380722752
show me evidence of you beating any gow on the hardest difficultly or you can suck my motherfucking dick fuckman

>>380722675
Increased difficulties doesn't make much of a difference if the core gameplay is still QTE shit

>>380722969
Does the same critique apply to Bayonetta on Climax? Because it's a qte shitshow.

>>380723024
Haven't played Bayo, but I'm referring to QTEs that are part of the gameplay instead of cutscenes

>>380722865
okay

>>380721749
The ending did not promote anything, it was up to interpretation of the player.

>>380723132
gow only does QTEs for finishing enemies or phase changing the bigger ones, you still have to get through the challenge of living until then which can get pretty fucking hard when there's a lot going on

oh yeah and here's ascension :^)

>>380723515
I never said that GoW can't be hard, but combining gameplay with QTE is just a way to make the game more cinematic and ruins the purpose of being a hack-n-slash game.

Just go back to making Devil May Cry: Square, you are not equipped to develop anything more advanced

>>380723740
The game breaking bug happened to me twice and I just wanted the game to be over with because it felt like a slog. The trails was when the game started getting fun but I don't think i'll ever play it again.

This is what gets me too lol. I guess beards in general are just ruined now

What is your fave god of war game?

>>380721016
>>MUH MILKING A FRANCHISE
I wouldn't even care about milking God of War, as long as the games are as good as the main 3. The problem is that this new one is absolute garbage

>>380724173
3
It would've been Ghost of Sparta if it wasn't handheld.

Nothing, there's no more story to tell, should have ended it on 3.

so ghost of sparta is a legit good game.
nice,i will have to pick it up then.
2 is my fave

have platinum games as developers

Kratros dies in the first 2 hours anyways

>>380724329
>Ghost of Sparta
Aah.. yes. Played it on my PSP a few years back. Only GoW I've ever played.

>>380713394
Scrap it and make a real GOW4, not this Naughty Dog movie game horse shit. Fuck Santa Monica, assholes have sunk so low. Nobody cares that you're middle aged now and have to project your sense of parenthood into a game that was all about tearing hoards upon hoards of enemies apart limb from limb. Fucking retards. Why not just make a brand new IP and leave GOW the fuck alone ffs.

Have kratos be the final boss while you play as the kid but grown up.

>>380724419
Go for it, it's not the best but it's definitely good.
>>380724508
You should try emulating 2, it's when some of the better stuff in the series comes in.

>>380724556
>not this Naughty Dog movie game horse shit
this.

The camera angle sucks for a hack and slash game because you can't really see the whole surrounding.
It's not supposed to be that realistic combat because Kratos is a beast in fighting.

Also, is his name still gonna be Kratos in this game? That's weird because isn't it supposed to be Norse myth now?

>>380721872
They always do that with these reboots. The old voice actors are too video gamey for their movies

>>380726212
it still doesn't make fucking sense
any half decent actor can do any kind of performance if there's a good director telling them how to sound
changing the VA for a character is basically changing the character altogether, it's insulting to the fans and the old VA especially

>>380723916
>In the trailer they say its his kid
>im pretty sure they showed us basic combos because all the GOW games allowed you to unlock more moves.
>How did they forget his wife and previous kid, they are gone is he suppose to stop using his dick?

>>380713394
I've been thinking about it, and I honestly don't know. The core gameplay of GOW1-3-Ascension has gotten stale, but IMO it's still better than the mutilated Souls combat we will be getting. I kinda wish they went for Dynasty Warrior style gameplay with typical western polish and made a game with bigger amount of enemies and scale of battles, instead of this.

>>380726516
>A character who after the loss of his beloved ones, lost all purpose in life except for revenge, transformed into more of a beast than human and after he finally avenged them, committed suicide because he had nothing left to live for
>Nah, he just found someone else
This shit completely ruins Kratos' character and the plot of whole series. You want a GOW with Norse pantheon, cool, but make it a brand new franchise instead of dragging Kratos into it. Fans will know it's pretty much the same thing with different name anyway(except it apparently isn't the same thing any more, but that just proves that it shouldn't have GOW in name even further).
